| '''Bokoblins''' are a common enemy found within [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They appear as large rat-like creatures and come in a variety of colors. These enemies will often wield weapons and will attempt to attack [[Link]] if he comes within their range of sight. They appear in the most recent game, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', and are this time more [[Moblin]] looking.

| ==Appearances==
| |
| ===The Wind Waker===
| |
| {{Float|left|[[File:WW_Bokoblin.png|130px|thumb|left|Wind Waker Bokoblin Art]]}}Bokoblins make their debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. They are a simple enemy that are fairly easy to kill, being the first enemy Link fights in the game. They come in 3 variations: Blue, Green, and Pink. They will occasionally drop [[Joy Pendant]]s after being defeated. Alternatively, Link can use his [[Grappling Hook]] to steal their Joy Pendants.
| |
| | |
| ====Blue Variation====
| |
| The Blue Variation is the simplest one, as Link can find them weaponless, and thus, defenseless. If they are holding a weapon, it's either a [[Deku Stick#Boko Stick|Boko Stick]], or a large sword.
| |
| | |
| ====Green Variation====
| |
| The Green Variation is stronger than the blue, as they wield large swords and have shields, which they use to block with.
| |
| | |
| ====Pink Variation====
| |
| [[File:TP_Bokoblin.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Twilight Princess Bokoblin]]The Pink Variation is probably the weakest kind of them all, as the only weapon that it carries is a telescope. These Bokoblins are only found on watch towers or rafts around the [[Great Sea]].
| |
| | |
| ===Twilight Princess===
| |
| The Bokoblins featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' come in two variants: the Red Bokoblins and the Purple Bokoblins.
| |
| | |
| This rendition of the Bokoblin can be found mostly in [[Hyrule Field]], and also in [[dungeon]]s. The Red version is a slightly more tougher since they have more health, but the two variants are otherwise pretty much the same. They have long swords and will directly run at Link. The best way to defeat them is just slashing them with the [[sword]], but [[bomb]]s, [[arrow]]s and many other items will do just fine. They can be found mostly in the forest areas, including [[Faron Woods]] and the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]].
| |
| | |
| ===Skyward Sword===
| |
| Bokoblins have a much different visual look in ''Skyward Sword'', taking on a more [[Moblin]]-like appearance. Some of them have small caps on top of their heads, wear bandannas or masks, and sometimes even have beards. These differences do not seem to have an effect on how they battle. They also have an apparent affinity for exotic undergarments.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1969|Fi}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Bokoblins are common enemies, found in almost every location throughout the game. When they detect Link's presence (except for the Archer Bokoblins), they will sprint towards him and strike at him with their weapons. Some also hold horns which they will blow to call out reinforcements.
| |
| | |
| ====Red Bokoblin====
| |
| The Red Bokoblin is the standard Bokoblin. They are most common and the weakest. They come in three different types: normal ones that wield swords or clubs, Archers, and Leaders.
| |
| | |
| =====Normal=====
| |
| {{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin}}}}This version of the Red Bokoblin has two black horns on its head and wears a leather vest & loincloth. Normal Bokoblins wield rusty machete-like swords when found in [[Faron Woods]] and a club covered in spiny green vines when found around [[Eldin Volcano]] and block Link's slashes. They will move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from Link's blade.
| |
| | |
| There are two main ways to defeat this type. Link can preform a carefully timed shield bash when they attack staggering them making an opening in their defense. This way is only useful when facing a single Bokoblin.
| |
| | |
| The second method of defeating them is taking the offensive and attacking the area that is not blocked by its weapon. This is a better tactic when facing multiple enemies because hitting a Bokoblin also staggers them leaving them open for additional attacks.
| |
| | |
| They will occasionally drop [[Ornamental Skull]]s or [[Golden Skull]]s when defeated.
| |
| [[File:Bokoblin-02.png|150px|thumb|right|Red Bokoblin (Leader)]]
| |
| | |
| =====Leader=====
| |
| {{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin (Leader)}}}}Red Bokoblin Leaders have the same look and tactics as the sword Bokoblins, the only difference being the blue cap it wears and the [[Monster Horn|horn]] it carries.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1970|Fi}}</ref> If a Leader spots Link it will utilize its horn as an alarm calling for backup. In the beginning, the only way to get rid of this horn is to kill the leader. However, once Link has completed the [[Ancient Cistern]] and obtained the [[Whip]], he can now use it to steal the horn from the Leader's waist belt. This does not kill the Bokoblin; it simply steals the horn.
| |
| | |
| They will occasionally drop a Monster Horn when defeated.
| |
| | |
| ====Archer====
| |
| {{Float|right|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin (Archer)}}}}Archers are characterized by a skull cap and a bandanna covering its mouth. Every different colored Bokoblin archer behaves generally the same way. When they spot Link they will raise an alarm much like the Bokoblin Leaders. Archers attack from a distance.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1973|Fi}}</ref> Although the archers range can be dangerous early on in the game, it only takes one hit to take them out.
| |
| | |
| Archer Bokoblins are often found atop towers. Link can use bombs to destroy the towers, bringing the Bokoblins down with them. Unlike the other Bokoblins they will not sprint towards Link, but will instead shoot arrows at him. They are pretty much defenseless in close quarter combat, usually only requiring a single sword strike.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Bokoblin-Cursed-Medium.png|100px|right|thumb|Cursed Bokoblin]]
| |
| ====Cursed Bokoblin====
| |
| {{Main|Cursed Bokoblin}}
| |
| {{Float|left|{{Fi|Cursed Bokoblin}}}} A new variation known as the [[Cursed Bokoblin]] are zombified enemies found within the underground section of the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are much slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they're much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's sword. The most efficient way to kill them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]] once they have been knocked down. Also, when Link brandishes any of the shields in the [[Sacred Shield]] series, the Cursed Bokoblins appear to be afraid of the shield and begin to retreat back from Link.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1980|Fi}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| In the battle with [[Koloktos]], the [[boss]] has the ability to summon a small horde of Cursed Bokoblins. They are much easier to kill because Link can kill them with an ordinary sword strike, and there is no need for a Fatal Blow. They come in groups of three or four. When Link fights them outside the boss room they often appear in huge numbers and, sometimes, if Link does manage to defeat one, another will take its place. They are also able to follow Link across many obstacles, such as climbing ropes.
| |
| | |
| ====Blue Bokoblin====
| |
| {{Float|right|{{Fi|Blue Bokoblin}}}}The Blue Bokoblin is a very stronger variation of the standard Red Bokoblin. Because of this extra strength, it is much tougher to defeat. It has the same attack patterns as the Red Bokoblin, but has different clothing and skin color because of the fact that it hails from a different environment.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1971|Fi}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====Green Bokoblin====
| |
| {{Float|left|{{Fi|Green Bokoblin}}}}Green Bokoblins wield hammers and are seen to be wearing white skull caps and tooth necklaces. They are basically a dungeon version of the Red Bokoblin, but take slightly more damage.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1976|Fi}}</ref> These also come in an Archer variety which looks exactly the same as a Red Archer, only green.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1977|Fi}}</ref> They enjoy caves, and because of this the color of their skin has turned green.
| |
| | |
| ====Technoblin====
| |
| {{Main|Technoblin}}
| |
| [[File:Zelda skyward art-3.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Technoblin]]
| |
| Technoblins are ancient Bokoblins that had access to high tech weapons.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1972|Fi}}</ref> These Bokoblin are often found when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated near a Bokoblin Skeleton in [[Lanayru Desert]]. The tactics for defeating this variation are the same as any other sword wielding Bokoblin. Link must be extra careful not to hit the sword they carry as it is electric and can be very dangerous to Link. If Link's sword makes contact with this weapon he is shocked and looses one heart.
| |
| | |
| When using a [[Shield]] against this type it is best to use the [[Wooden Shield]], [[Sacred Shield]], or [[Hylian Shield]] because one strike from its weapon will disintegrate an [[Iron Shield]]. When fighting a Technoblin that appeared in conjunction with a Timeshift Stone, if Link knocks it out of the time rift zone it turns back into a skeleton.
